Sleep Well

So what can you do if you know you aren't getting enough sleep?

Turn off the TV at night. Some teens fall asleep with the TV on, and some are so used to the noise they think they can't sleep without it. Not true! The TV noises and flashing lights will only keep you from getting a sound sleep. If you can remember things you heard during your sleep, you're not sleeping well.

Try caffeine free drinks. Try reducing caffeine by switching to something healthier, like bottled water. Okay, okay, if that's too much to ask, at least try a caffeine-free version of your favorite drink.

Limit after-school activities. It's hard to do, but try to limit your extracurriculars. Sometimes you just have to make a hard choice and stick to it.

You may need to strike a balance between making time for homework and sleep and gaining valuable experience in an extracurricular activity that will help your chances of getting into a great college. Know your priorities.
